The Davis scholarship allowed me to be able to go to college. I came from a very poor family with 4 other siblings. My parents didn't have the financial means to help me. I qualified for a few Pell grants, but that wasn't enough to cover tuition. Receiving this scholarship was a huge load off my shoulders. I viewed each scholarship I received as somebody believing in me enough to give me money to go to school. It was very uplifting and powerful to know that someone would give me the money that they had worked hard for so I could go to school and help someone else in the future.

The Campaign for Nebraska. Unlimited Possibilities.

What does it mean and why are we doing it?

The University of Nebraska Foundation is involved in a campaign to raise $1.2 billion to fund university priorities such as student scholarships, faculty recruitment, research and program support. The campaign will conclude in 2014.

“This campaign is focused on opportunities for students, on expanding research in areas we are already renowned and on making a difference in Nebraska,” said James B. Milliken, president of the University of Nebraska. “The campaign will continue to build on the university’s tremendous momentum.”

That momentum includes steady enrollment increases and improvements that are keeping more of the state’s top scholars in Nebraska. As well as record numbers for external funding for research.

Hennings increase access to education with forever scholarship fund

“We believe the best way to support the priority of increasing access to higher education and encouraging more of our high school graduates to go on to college is by providing resources to make student scholarships possible,” said Tom Henning of Kearney, one of Harvey and Betty Henning’s sons.

The children of Harvey J. and Betty L. Henning of Kearney have established a student scholarship in their parents’ honor at the University of Nebraska at Kearney to help make a college education within reach for more Nebraskans.

They established the Henning Family Scholarship Fund at the University of Nebraska Foundation as a permanent endowment to provide annual financial aid forever to undergraduate students at UNK.
